Caring for Poultry in Summer.

The care of fowls and chicks during
the summer months requires as much
or even more work and attention than
is really essential to their prosperity
at other seasons. To keep them
healthy and carry them through their
moulting period demands constant
care. Coal oil on roosts, whitewash
on walls. fresh earth in the houses and
thrown over their yards, are all alike
beneficial and not relished by the
pesky little lousy fellows that cause
most ailments among fowls. Care
must be used in feeding; feed corn
sparingly, use wheat, oats and vegeta-
bles, and supply meat during moulting
season. Care must be given to the
growing chicks; Gull out closely and
remove them to larger quarters than
their babyhood coop gives them before
their size causes any crowding for
room; avoid crowding; fight lice; keep
one eye out for rats, kill the cats; look
out for varmints and "coons." and if
you co not give up in despair success
will crown your efforts and you will
have fine, vigorous, healthy, beautiful
birds as your reward. Success in
poultry raising means daily work and
is no easy job if properly and success
fully carried ono. A. Emery, in

Peach Culture in Florida.

Alachua County is, beyond doubt,
the home of the peach in Florida.
There are several leading varieties
grown here, which are prolific bearers
and the fruit of which brings the
most remunerative prices. Prominent
among these are the Peento, which has
frequently sold in the early markets at
nine dollars per dozen, or seventy-five
cents per peach; and The Honey OF
Kennard. Both of these ripen very
early and are very luscious fruit They
are hardy and vigorous growers,
especially adapted to our soil and eli
mate.
One of our peach-growers, who has
shipped more than one thousand boxes
of oranges, will also ship this season
as many cases of excellent peaches, to
say nothing of his LeConte pears,
Japan persimmons. grapes, strawber-
ries and other small fruits.
But few years since an aged man,
broken down in fortune and in health,
came here and entered largely into
peach culture. Success has attended
his efforts. and to-day he is in easy and
comfortable circumstances. 1t is true
that he also cultivates the orange,
grape, banana, Japan persimmon,
LeConte pear and other fruits, but his
eminent success may be attributed to
the peach, which began to yield him an
income the second year.
Another remarkable thing connected
with the growing of the peach here,
may be found in the fact that there is
never a total failure, but invariably n
fair crop is produced and the prices
are always remunerative. The fact is,
we raise as fine peaches as may be
found. l have frequently seen them
weighing from ten to fourteen ounces,
delicious in flavor, beautiful in color
and luscious as possible. I'D. H., IN

The Telephone of 1865.

There is nothing new under tho
sum-" not even the telephone. Permit
me to state that in the year 1865 there
was published in England book with
the title of photographic" The author
was DR.. Robert Hooke, celebrated
scientist, mathematician and philoso-
pher, who was born in the Isle of Wight
in 1886, and educated at Oxford. The
work referred to contains various philo-
sophical descriptions of minute bodies
made by magnifying glasses. as indi-
Gated in the title, together with "Obser-
vations and Inquiries" on them. In
the preface the learned scientist as
serts that the lowest whispers, by GER
tain means (Which he does not make
public may be heard at the distance
of furlong; that he knew way by
which it is easy to hear any one speak
through wall three feet thick, and
that by means of an extended wire,
sound may be conveyed to very great
distance almost in an instant-North

Composition of Rails

1t is stated that the average compost
ton of rails manufactured at the five
well-known German establishments of
Horde, Krupp, Wikowitz, Phoenix and
Reschitza, is as follows: Carbon, 0.Sl;
manganese. 0.SS. silicium, 0.0S: phos-
phorss, 0.09; sulphur. Dol; and copper,
OLA But the composition of rails from
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
railroad, and which are said to have
proved better in respect to wear than
the above, averaged as follows: Carbon.
0.SS; manganese, 0.69; silicium. OILS;
phosphorus. nearly 0.05, and sulphur,
COS. 1t further appears that although
on German railroads the rolling stock
islighter, and the speed of the trains
slower than characterize French rail-
roads, yet, with equivalent conditions
in respect totrack, the difference in the
wear of the rails is ascertained to be as
much as to LIS, in favor of those man.

either in reason or wholesome regard
for health, or that such coarse and
heating food is demanded by our sys-
TENS. yet the fact can not be ignored.
We will have bacon at any cost; and
many a man, if compelled to go with
out it for day, imagines that he is
enduring a great privation.
1t behooves the farmer. then, who
must have bacon-who considers it one
of the indispensables-to give his
hogs the attention that the Importance
of the dead carcass demands. 1t is a
very common and very thriftless and
improbable practice to give very little
attention to the coming porker in the
spring, summer and fall, and lavish all
attention and food on the maturing
few weeks preceding killing time.
This is the common practice all over
the South and largely in the West.
The true policy is to push them from
the start, even while yet pigs,
the object being to induce a
thrifty, even growth and devel-
opment of bone, muscle and stom-
ach. The more rapid and healthful
the growth the earlier will the animal
attain the size and weight desired, and
the cheaper the bacon. The wheat
and oat pastures are now open; and
while the fallen and shattered grain
and the grass will greatly help the
growth and pro gross of pigs towards
bacon, we ought to provide additional
resources. The grain will soon be
consumed, and the grass often fails
under severe drought, and the hcgs will
receive a check which involves loss
unless other provision is made. There
ought to be patches or small fields OF
sorghum, collards, Spanish peanuts,
ETC., from which daily rations of sue
culent food may be drawn, or into
which the hogs may be turned
to root for themselves. Sorghum cane,
Indian corn Stalks and ears) and col
lards, in addition to fruit from the
orchard, will afford successive sup
ply of the very best and most healthful
food for hogs. Cold weather is not IA
vorable to fattening and is only con-
venient for saving the pork. The hogs
ought to be ready for the knife by the
beginning of December Wo firmly
believe if this plan of feeding regularly
and literally on the most natural (and
consequently healthfuD foods be prac-
ticed, plenty of clean water and clean
quarters be provided, and all conta-
gion and infection be guarded against,
cholera-so-called-would practically
cease to be the dread pest that it now
is. -SOuthern CultiUdtOr

Homemade Fruit Press.

The old way of extracting the juice
from berries or fruits was by placing it
in strong flannel bag when hot, and
squeezing and wringingi it by hand until
the Juice left dry pulp. 1t was slow
and tiresome process. There are now a
variety of screw presses, but as they are
expensive they are found only in the
Kitchens of the rich, but any one can
make press by the use of simple
lever, on the principle of a lemon
squeezer, which will give the necessary
pressure, and can be made at home, by
bringing together two pieces of board
and setting upon table, with one end
elevated, so that the juice, as it is
pressed out, can run into apail or dish
set under it on the fioor.-Detroit Trio
